All of our regular clients who plan to work out on Saturday: we need you at 9:30 this week only (not 10:30).
Come in and find out what’s your heaviest possible squat, press, and deadlift. We normally do sets of five; this is our occasional time to test how much we can lift ONCE. You get three tries at each lift. Your heaviest one of each (three total lifts) are totalled, and that’s your score for your CrossFit Total, as this “test” is called.
We will do a good warm-up and you will refer to your notebooks to pick a heavy starting squat. If you’ve squatted 165 pounds for five reps, you might try 175 for your first attempt at the squat. Others will take their first turn too. When your turn comes around again, for your second squat, pick something you think is realistically heavier. And the same thing a third time. Then we move on to the press, and finish with everyone taking three deadlift attempts. No dropping the deadlifts today! If you drop it it’s a failed lift.
For most of you this will be your first CrossFit Total. It’s just one more way of setting benchmarks to measure your progress. We’ll do it again in another three months or so, and it will be that much easier to choose what weights to attempt.
First-timers are welcome at 8:30 as usual and will have their own workout as always.
